A                          Cmaj7
Bird, I wish that I could fly with you
                 Fmaj7                 E7
Overland and oceans, too, just be still in my head for a minute
A                           Cmaj7
Bird, tell me what it means to be
               Fmaj7                      E7
Free from all misery of the world and everything in it

[Bridge]

Dm                   Am
The clouds make the dark
    G               F
The dark makes the stars
     Dm             Am
The stars make my heart ache
G
Still

[Chorus]

                   Am Am11             Am Am11
But as much as it hurts, as much as it hurts
                  Fmaj7                                 E11  E7
I know that I'm feeling something, it's better off than feeling nothing
                   Am Am11             Am Am11
But as much as it hurts, oh yeah it hurts
                  Fmaj7             E11 E7
I know that I'm feeling something, yeah, I am

[Verse]

A                          Cmaj7
Bird, I see that you don't look down
                 Fmaj7                 E7
Show me how to not look down I'm so weary of keeping up
A                           Cmaj7
Bird, everywhere you go is home
               Fmaj7                      E7
Even though you're all alone you never seem lonely, do you?

[Bridge]

Dm                   Am
The clouds are not real
    G               F
The stars are not real
     Dm             Am
But this longing I feel
G
Is

[Chorus]

                   Am Am11             Am Am11
But as much as it hurts, as much as it hurts
                  Fmaj7                                 E11  E7
I know that I'm feeling something, it's better off than feeling nothing
                   Am Am11             Am Am11
But as much as it hurts, oh yeah it hurts
                  Fmaj7             E11 E7
I know that I'm feeling something, yeah, I am
